Career
Since 2013 he is in charge of the so-called "PopUp church", and writes columns for nrc.next and Nederlands Dagblad, and helped found the Vluchtkerk, a church organization in Amsterdam that supports refugees whose applications have been denied. That same year he hosted the Earth Observation-Jongerendag, an annual gathering of Christian youth organized by the Evangelische Omroep. He made headlines in 2014 when he started a Facebook group (called "Benno L, welcome on our street") which argued for a "humane treatment" of a convicted pedophile, which earned him both praise and threats.
